The Oakland Raiders had player media availability today before practice. A few things were learned today, such as Nick Miller’s shin splints, are in fact, a cracked bone in his ankle. JaMarcus Russell’s leg is going to be a non-factor. Hiram Eugene was fielding punts in practice.

Nick Miller was on crutches and had a boot on his right ankle. Turns out he had a fracture and will be out 6-8 weeks.

Javon Walker procliamed himself ready, but he stated that it was up to the coaches.

Hiram Eugene did not look comfortable fielding the punts.

Louis Murphy fed off the disappointment of the non-TD to fuel his game.
